Yes, you can change it in conf-qmail. I think it's better to leave
conf-qmail alone, though, and make /var/qmail a symbolic link to
wherever you want qmail to live. E.g.:
# mkdir /var/spool/qmail
# ln -s /var/spool/qmail /var
So /var/spool/qmail and /var/qmail will refer to the same place:
/var/spool/qmail.
Actually, I think it'd be even better to make /var/qmail a real
directory, and put symlinks pointing to the various
subdirectories. E.g.:
# mkdir /var/qmail
# mkdir /var/spool/qmail
# ln -s /var/spool/qmail /var/qmail/queue
# ln -s /usr/local/man /var/qmail
# mkdir /usr/local/etc/qmail
# ln -s /usr/local/etc/qmail /var/qmail/control
Then proceed with the INSTALL directions.

That depends on how you setup qmail's logging. If you use cyclog from
daemontools, which I recommend, you probably do want a
/var/log/qmail. If you log via syslog (splogger), your syslog.conf
will determine where the mail logs go.
